I generally don't like the Hughes brother's films, but I liked this one. I thought this was going to be another heist film, but it's actually not. Only the climax involves any stealing of money. The rest of the film is a violent and uncompromising look at politics and racism during the Vietnam War era, from the black perspective. It's a harsh movie, with no sterotypes and a good amount of drama.
